Perfect beach getaway

Really enjoyed our stay. This is steps away from the beach, while still private and quiet. Even during Spring Break! Also loved the lake views from the bedroom

perfect location

Location is perfect. Short walk to be on the beach. Views front and back are beautiful. Many delicious restaurants nearby. Very close to everything you may need, but not on the main road so its not congested. The neighborhood feels very safe.

Was pleasantly surprised with the updated condo. We would definitely recommend it.

The door lock could use some work. It took us several times to get it to open. Everything else was great!!

Booked 5 B, moved to 5A

In 5 B: Couch smelled of body odor and urine. Went to bed and woke up wet an hour later, my side of the bed was soaked with urine. Put down a towel and tried to sleep on top of bed clothes. Could not sleep and texted Southern Vacation Resorts at 1:30am. Also noticed on wall near bathroom and laundry room what appeared to be water damage and maybe black mold. Spent the next day communicating with SVR with little luck. They were very slow to respond to a potential health hazard. Finally I insisted we could not sleep there another night and SVR said they would find us another unit. We packed up all of our stuff and moved to the unit upstairs. We booked a ground floor unit because our knees are old and abused, we also booked 5B because it had a king size bed. 5A has a lot of steps and mattress is a standard double and is lumpy and old. No toilet paper in 2nd bathroom (so one roll for 2 bathrooms) only 2 dinner forks and one kitchen towel for the week. No pot holders. SVR offered no apology or compensation for lost vacation day. We really like the location but will not book anything that is managed by Southern Vacation Resorts. I have used Southern Resorts multiple times so this was a surprise. I know I booked this through VRBO, but SVR was the local management. You need to know how they are treating your customers.

Hello Marian, Thanks so much for taking the time out of your day to leave us your review and feedback. On behalf of Southern Vacation Rentals, we are very sorry to hear about the issues that you encountered during your stay with us. We recognize that in our line of work, relaxation and ease of stay is of the highest importance and hate to see that we were not able to provide our best quality of work. We are looking into the details of your review to see where our process has failed, to prevent this from happening to future guests. While this does not make your experience better, we do hope that you allow us the opportunity to host you once more at any of our units along the Emerald Coast in order to show you a true Southern 5 star stay. Again, we apologize greatly for the effect it had on your vacation, but do hope to see you with us again soon. Kindest Regards, Your Southern Team

Our stay.

Fast response to inquiries with property management. Doors stick. Takes more than one attempt to open front door. Beautiful view to lake. Close to beach. Couch is very stained. Great stay otherwise. We love the area.
